About the Program: 

Our goal is to grow organic food for the community. After clearing cleaning and fixing the greenhouses we will plant seeds and raise food crops learning sustainable agriculture and science concepts in a unique environment. Young plants will be transferred to The Red Barn Community Farm where they will be raised to maturity by community volunteers. The food will then be donated to local food banks. Future projects include growing flowers. The grant will fund greenhouse renovation and soil.

Fall 2016 update:

We're now partnered with Farmer Frog and building a large-scale aquaponics system, to be completed/running in Spring 2017.
